When Blogging is a Crime

About freedom of speech, about censorship, about conspiracies, about control and the state's monopoly on violence. Be careful what you blog or protest even more audibly? This blogger was arrested in Egypt in November. When our private diaries become public, they are also percieved as a threat, to undermine the administrating authorities and forms of controlling the mind, as the university was the one to turn him in. It makes me wonder what they had to hide. By arresting Abdel, Eqypt has thus drawn international attention to a situation that may not have been known otherwise. Isn't it ironic? Free Kareem! so that the price he has to pay isn't too high! Save the bloggers!
